$181 MILLION LOTTERY WINNER FINDS LOVE OF HIS LIFE TWO DAYS AFTER HITTING IT BIG

$181 MILLION LOTTERY WINNER FINDS LOVE OF HIS LIFE TWO DAYS AFTER HITTING IT BIG BEND, OREGON — Wesley Calder, 52, announced a $181 million lottery win on Monday. By Wednesday he was telling friends he had met the love of his life. The timing was so fast that relatives said they barely had time to congratulate him before being asked to congratulate him again. Wesley insisted she liked his sense of humor and had no interest in the money. He said they connected over travel and wanted to plan a holiday together. His sister asked what they had talked about before the jackpot came up. Wesley paused long enough for the room to go quiet. His new partner said people were being cynical about a genuine connection. His relatives said they were being practical about a man whose first two dates both ended with discussions about luxury resorts. Wesley called it jealousy and began looking at engagement rings. Maybe it is true love. Maybe winning $181 million has simply made Wesley's personality much easier to notice.
